Study type | Interventional |
This research is being done to study the effects of the drug omalizumab (Xolair) in people with cat allergies. The investigators will use omalizumab to study changes in the cells in the nose, skin and blood that cause allergies. The investigators predict that cells in the blood will be effected before cells in the nose or skin.

Inhaled corticosteroids for mild asthma will be permissible. - No known contraindications to therapy with omalizumab Exclusion Criteria: - Asthma with forced expiratory volume at one second (FEV1) < 80%, moderate to severe asthma classification per National Asthma Education and Prevention Program Expert Panel (NAEP) Standards (1997 National Asthma Education and Prevention Program Expert Panel Report II guidelines) - Serum IgE levels less than 30 IU/mL or greater than 700 IU/mL at the time of enrollment will be excluded - Unexplained elevation of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), hematocrit < 32%, white blood cell (WBC) count 2400/microliter lower limit of normal, platelet < 75000/microliter, creatinine > 141.4 micromolar/L, or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) > 100 IU/L - Body weight less than 30 kg or greater than 150 kg will be excluded. - Plans to become pregnant or breastfeed will be excluded from the study - A perforated nasal septum, structural nasal defect, large nasal polyps causing obstruction, evidence of acute or chronic sinusitis - A life expectancy less than 6 months - A terminal illness as determined by the investigator - A history of malignancy, anaphylaxis or bleeding disorder are also exclusion illnesses. - Mental illness or history of drug or alcohol abuse that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with the participant's ability to comply with study requirements. - Inability or unwillingness of a participant to give written informed consent or comply with study protocol - Use of any investigational drugs within 8 weeks of participation - Contraindications to omalizumab include patients with a previous hypersensitivity to omalizumab - Recent recipient of any licensed or investigational live attenuated vaccine(s) within two months of study initiation such as flu mist. - Prior use of omalizumab - Frequent sinusitis (>2/ documented episodes per year) or active sinusitis within 2 weeks of enrollment - Use of immunotherapy within the last 5 years |
